    Summary

    “Kyojuro..?” Akaza calls.

    He gets no answer.

    In a sudden impulse he lifts his other hand to the slayer’s forehead, brushing stray strands away and pressing the back of his fingers against the skin; he finds it slightly clammy and hot to the touch. He knows it isn’t normal, that Kyojuro’s body isn’t supposed to run this warm.

    “Kyojuro,” Akaza calls again. “You’re not well.”

    Summary

    The ashes clutched in Giyuu’s remaining hand warm beneath his sweating palm, and Sanemi glares at him with the only half of his heart he has left.

    “You’re a fucking stray,” he finally spits out.

    “And yet,” Giyuu answers calmly, “you keep me around.”

    Summary

    Protecting the weak had always been the one principle that Kyojuro had lived by, etched into his mind from the time he had been nothing but a boy.
    Never had he thought that it would drive him to getting himself turned into the very thing he had sworn to destroy.

    Just as he had never thought it possible that the very demon that had tried to kill him, would emerge on his journey with him. Not only to regain his former life, but also to find a way to destroy the evil at the root of it all.

    As the line between hate and love keeps blurring, the Hashira soon has to make a decision whether he can really trust the Upper Moon, or if maybe Akaza is just following his very own goals after all.

    Summary

    His fingers brush along the line, tracing it as it curves and turns, following it until it ends in a sharp, abrupt end.

    He moves to the one closest next, redoing that same discovery, learning a pattern he already knows by heart. His fingers shift as the body below moves, muscles rippling under the skin, and then Akaza is turning to face him.

    “This again, Kyojuro?” he says in a breathless laugh. “One would think you would get tired of them by now.”
    “Never,” Kyojuro promises.

    Summary

    It is said that the responses to trauma are as unique as the people who endure it, and both men were living proof of that.

    But despite how different they were, there was something that bound them together: the exhaustion that gnawed at them day after day.

    Giyu made it obvious for everyone to see, even if no one understood, while Sanemi hid it as if it were his darkest secret.

    And perhaps that was why their relationship was a complete disaster.

    Summary

    The enormity of the change he's stirred in Akaza terrifies him. Heartless, merciless, a hollow killer, centuries-old, twisted inside out like this.

    A tectonic shift in the balance of the world, in the tide of the fight that’s to come, all at the hands of one man.

    Summary

    He doesn’t want Akaza to think that he has to give to be loved, not anything, not even the littlest piece of him. He can take. He can refuse. He can—

    “Anything you want, Kyojuro,” Akaza chooses, “I’m all yours.”

    Summary

    “Poison,” Kyojuro finally tells him, feeling a bit faint. “Blood Demon Art. I need to wait for the sun.”

    The faint smile drops off of Akaza’s face at what is quite frankly an astonishing speed. His eyes narrow into slits.

    “You were poisoned?” he says, surprisingly toneless.

    ~***~

    Or: Akaza finds Kyojuro injured after a particularly nasty mission.

    Summary

    Akaza wants to see how far Kyojuro will go to hide their relationship from the Hashira. Unbeknownst to Kyojuro, the Hashira already know everything.

    A fun little story of acceptance, love, and so so many innuendos.

    Summary

    For a few moments, they stare at each other before a slow realization dawns on Akaza’s face. He takes a couple of steps back. “Come here.”

    Before Kyojuro even knows what he’s doing, his feet are carrying him forward, one step, two steps, three, stopping only when he’s standing right in front of Akaza. The shadow of concern behind his eyes has dissipated into something else entirely. His smile is all teeth, satisfied and a touch devious.

    “So that’s what the Blood Demon Art does,” Akaza says.

    Or: Kyojuro is hit with a Blood Demon Art with questionable consequences.

    Summary

    The sliding door barely snaps close before Akaza's knee hits the tatami. For all his haste, he dreads what he might find. A husk, bled of all light and fire– unrecognisable, or perhaps even worse, familiar– this pain between his ribs, suspended in amber, a fractal of three–

    The lump of blankets wracks itself with another coughing fit, and unthinking of his fear, Akaza reaches out. (To what? Help? Soothe? Save? He is a demon. Such concepts are anathema. And yet, it's Kyojuro.

    Akaza was reaching out to him before he knew his name.)

    *

    Or: Akaza seeks out Kyojuro only to find him sick. It is the first time he's seen him like this (yet, it's so familiar.)

    Summary

    Kyojuro is asked if Akaza's markings go all the way down. It's an absurd question. He doesn't know, he refuses to ask, and he resolves never think about it again. Except he does- and now Kyojuro can't stop thinking about it.

    -

    Or: 5 times Kyojuro wonders about Akaza's markings, and the 1 time he finds out.

    Summary

    Rengoku Kyojuro, looking back now, figured no one could have expected this. He supposes this is what his mother meant by life being an unpredictable, beautiful river—one that threatnes to drown you.

    And, my goodness, does this demon make the very careful life he built crumble.

    Or:
    The one where Akaza accidentally gets some of his blood inside of Kyojuro's system, and it has the most unlikely consequences—both in the Flame Pillar surviving the fall, and Akaza's newfound curiosity.

    Summary

    Kyojuro survives the Mugen Train battle, but at a cost.

    When a connection forged in blood binds him to Akaza, both are forced onto a path that was never meant to exist.

    As the line between Hashira and demon begins to blur, that bond may become their greatest weakness… or the one thing capable of changing their fate.

    Summary

    It begins like it always does. A touch, a breath, and finally—a look.

    Fuck a pretty boy once, twice, and so on until you lose count, and he’ll start to act up. Coy, though, with a turned cheek and lowered lashes, so you can’t see the hungry glimmer in his eyes.

    Summary

    Akaza bites down anew, close to an old bruise still tender to the touch, and Kyojuro sucks in a breath. He brings his arms up as the fangs leave his skin, turning in the demon’s embrace to curl his hands around his face. Akaza smiles at him, blood on his lips, blood on his chin, blood on his teeth. There is nothing in that picture that should make Kyojuro’s belly flip like it does. He knows it should be fear choking him, not the bright inferno of lust -

    And yet.

    Summary

    When Akaza miscalculated how much time he had left before the sun would rise during his fight with Kyojuro, he was forced to retreat before he could turn the Flame Pillar into a demon - or kill him. Kyojuro was left gravely injured and the path of recovery would be slow, but he was alive.

    Or, the sun rises a few minutes earlier at the Infinity Train. It changes everything.

    Summary

    After his wounds have healed, Kyojuro resumes his duties as a Hashira—intending to do so alone, as he always has. However, the demon to whom he owed his leave of absence and who has wormed his way into his life over the past year is not about to let him go that easily.
